Seven Isocircles

Hi there.

First of all I would like to thank you for allowing me in the forum.:wink:

I have the following problem. How to draw isometrically, in 2d, this:

I got this drawing in actual 2d the following and then usin view to see it isometrically.

I tried to do it drawing with the basic octagon, I did it for seven with the isopolygon in red but the the isocircles don't fit, I did one and I copy them but they are not tangent, however in the original drawing in 2d and then seeing in a 3d view seems that it is posible.

Please, if you have any idea how to draw isometrically the polygon (magenta) I am all ears.

Many Thanks

:wink:

Hi naitnaru,

1- I draw a circle (green) which has a radius equal to the edge of the polygon

2- I draw an isocircle (green) which has a same raius of precedent circle to get my radius

"TIPS" To be sure to get a good radius I use 'cal for transparent use and RAD function see example below

Command: ELLIPSE

Specify axis endpoint of ellipse or [Arc/Center/Isocircle]: i

Specify center of isocircle:

Specify radius of isocircle or [Diameter]: 'cal

>>>> Expression: rad

>>>> Select circle, arc or polyline segment for RAD function:

Resuming ELLIPSE command.

Specify radius of isocircle or [Diameter]: 100

For construction see image below

Bye

Pascal I am so happy

Here it was done with your method. I cannot thank you enough.
